Pix FWIW.. Feel free to comment, but I'll shoot it before I pass any more judgement.

Pretty is as pretty does. If it shoots I could care less what the inside of the stock looks like

Damn that is a little concerning to me. I have a 7mm-08 on order. I agree if it shoots great who cares but still, that is fugly.

It's certainly been bedded. If I remember the reports correctly a couple others in 308 were a few ounces heavier. Looking forward to the range report. Congrats, I bet it's a shooter.

Looks to be a handy package chambered in a great cartridge, stock does seem pretty rough though!

I've run a file over a few spots on the stock.. They are bedded to the individual barrel/action, and numbered. The sharpie touch-up corresponds to the ink smeared on the barrel and action..

All in all, you have to say, the inletting looks like a bag of smashed azzholes.

120 ttsx's, 140 AB's, varget and IMR4350 are next.. Going to need some good results.

If it shoots in the end who cares, but I'd be a little upset spending that kind of money and getting that kind of attention to detail.

30-06 is in the rack over there.. Mebbe I should trade across and then you can have a real rifle when I cough it up.
